Mawin was an awesome guide and great photographer! The van we were picked up in was extremely comfortable with a/c and water. The stops we went to were amazing views and experiences. Make sure you convert your currency before this tour so you can purchase from the local spots during the tour. When you see the big Buddha (women) you will be asked to cover your knees and shoulders. Luckily Mawin brought us wraps for us ladies that were wearing shorts. I recommend doing this tour first if it’s your first time in Phuket!

Awesome tour and my guide was great! If you want to know more about the people and places of the island then book this one. I got a full appreciation not only of the beaches and beauty but of the people and culture and history.
Well worth it. Just one tip go early before crowds start and watch out for the monkeys.
